that the roads accepted every kind OF cars,

was .snly q slight shower. The next warn

double discounts any thing of the kind
ever attempted by Emma Abbott. AS
Lady Clancarty her husband escapes
from his pursuers through ali open
window into her room. She stands
with her back to the audience clear
down the stage, near the footlights.
The husband looks at her aomoment
and then rushes wildly into her arms.
Then both swing around and expose
their profles to the audience. Then
they hold each other at arms length.
Then her bosom heaves and he pants.
Then her head falls upon his breast,
reclining backward. There is a Grim.
son blush suffusing her charming face.
Then he looks down at her, and she
looks up at him. Then there is a per.
ceptible pressure around the waist.
lien he suddenly places his lips to
llers. Then she clasps him around the
head. Then there is a soft, gurgline
sound, as of water escaping from q
kitchen sink. Then they are, as Ii
were. glued together. Then allis still.
Women in the audience become. nerv-
Gus. Bald-headed men are paralyzed.
Men around town have their watches
out timing them. One second. two,

there is an explosion, as if the bung
had blown out of a beer barrel. 1t IL
